Naruto Unveils Dark New Itachi Design, And It's 10/10 Perfect

As if its protagonist's warnings never to underestimate him were not enough, the hype for Naruto is still very much alive and indeed ramping up in 2026. In addition to the steady stream of new chapters of its ongoing sequel series, set to return later this month with Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 37, the mainline Naruto franchise has plenty of swag to showcase ahead of its upcoming releases. Courtesy of Banpresto's Noir Edge Collection, their first Akatsuki figure to feature for the Naruto franchise, fittingly of Itachi Uchiha, recently opened up for pre-orders. While it predictably sold out, fans are easily able to set up alerts when more stock is available, such as via BigBadToyStore or Entertainment Earth.
